Cards and paper crafting……

My sewing machine has been in for its annual service, and while it was away I did some card making and found myself really enjoying the fast pace and quick turn around of the craft.

Choosing paper patterns to coordinate and contrast reminds me of making a quilt, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised I enjoyed the process so much.

    

  Card for all occasions.

  

This box and card set was the result of a class I went to recently.  The box along with the cards and gift tags were included and I plan on using them as gift’s in due course.

I went home and completed a second set and was thrilled that I managed to remember the finer details of the workshop and finished it in quick time.

Tonight I have been following a You-Tube tutorial for making covered boxes.  I wanted boxes to store or gift a set of greeting cards and this one was so simple and easy to follow I’ve completed 3 very quickly. Thanks to some great ‘tools & equipment’ my paper trimmer and scoring block.

 

 

 

I joined a Pin Cushion Swap earlier this months and this week I received my Pin Cushion from my Angel, Alison Wellham.  She included some delightful little pins and a block of Fruit & Nut Chocolate. I felt very spoilt.

 

I’ve also ben doing a little knitting.  These camo yarn booties are for Quinn.

 

Greg and I went for a drive in the country 2 weekends ago, it was a perfect winter day, clear and cool.

 

 

Here is Greg guarding our coffee and fudge, the farm dog was a little nosey and when he wasn’t ‘leaning’ on us, he was looking for unprotected food!

  

The final word goes to my darling grand children, Brooklynn and Quinn.

  

  

Thanks for visiting,
